In a race of 200 m, A can beat B by 31 m and C by 18 m. In a race of 350 m, C will beat B by:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
A : B = 200 : 169.
A : C = 200 : 182.
| C | = |  |
C | x | A |  |
= | |
182 | x | 200 | |
= 182 : 169. |
| B | A | B | 200 | 169 |
When C covers 182 m, B covers 169 m.
| When C covers 350 m, B covers | |
169 | x 350 | m |
= 325 m. |
| 182 |
Therefore, C beats B by (350 - 325) m = 25 m.

A can beat B by 31, then (total distance-A beat B) = 200-31 = 169.
